[0002] Currently, extruders used in the pipe plastics industry all have material storage tanks. When changing formulas (or replacing different raw materials), the remaining raw materials (plastic granules) in the tank are emptied. Common material tanks can store about 100kg of raw materials. Due to the narrow space of the discharge pipe, with a diameter of about 50mm, the plastic granules are prone to stacking and jamming during the discharge process relying on their own weight. As a result, it takes about 1.5 hours to empty a material tank. During this period, manual supervision is required to prevent blockage, which wastes a lot of time and manpower.
